1396: C1396 It's Not That I Don't Want to but I Really Can't Afford It

C1396 It's Not That I Don't Want to but I Really Can't Afford It

Eating at home is naturally a good thing, very warm.

But occasionally going out to eat a big meal and mixing some flavors was also very good.

Xue Yueqing called over the anxious Feng Ming and directly asked, "I heard that you want to treat Chen Feng to a drink and apologize to him?"

Compensate? Feng Ming was instantly stunned. Didn't he already pay a thousand Spirit Stone to Chen Feng?

Treating Chen Feng to a drink was just a polite greeting. Who knew that Chen Feng would take it seriously?

Furthermore, even if he really invited Chen Feng to drink, it was also to deepen their relationship, not to atone for his crimes!

But was there a need to explain this kind of thing?

Obviously not.

If he really explained, it would instead make Xue Yueqing think that he did not want to admit this matter and even more so did not want to treat Chen Feng to a drink. The good impression that had accumulated over many years would be ruined.

"City Lord, there is indeed such a thing."

Therefore, Feng Ming nodded slightly and looked at Chen Feng and the other two.

"Then why are you not willing to invite us?" Xue Yueqing continued to ask, which made Feng Ming's face look bitter.

"City Lord, it is not that you are not willing to invite me, but you really cannot afford to invite me." He replied bitterly, his face full of helplessness.

"He must go to the best restaurant, but my monthly salary is only 300 Spirit Stone. This trip to the best Gourmet Pavilion will be in vain."

Xue Yueqing naturally would not believe his nonsense and revealed a look of disdain.

The monthly salary was symbolic. When one reached the Innate Stage, who would hope to rely on this monthly salary to make a fortune?

Refining pills, forging weapons, making talismans, any one of them that was trained well, the monthly income would far exceed this amount.

The only difference was whether one had the intention or not. Only a small portion of those in the Peak of the Innate Stage could reach the Core Formation stage. This meant that most people did not have that kind of life.

Then, what did they want the Spirit Stone for?

There were descendants and families who did it for them. If there were no descendants, then it did not matter.

As for magical treasures, one or two of them were enough to defend themselves, and they wouldn't be of any use even if they had more.

There were fewer cultivators in Blue Star compared to Earth, and naturally, there were fewer Innate Stage cultivators. Therefore, unlike Earth, where resources were scarce, it wasn't difficult to get more suitable magic treasures.

"Now, we're going to Gourmet Pavilion to drink together. Do you want to go?" After Xue Yueqing looked at him with disdain, she asked again.

"Huh?" Feng Ming could not help but be stunned and did not react for a moment.

Xue Yueqing actually asked him to go drink together?

Was he dreaming?

This must be fake, right?

Was he still awake?

"Are you coming or not?" Xue Yueqing asked again and added, "If you are going, this time you will treat as an apology. If you are not going, I will treat you as a host."

The reason was very good, but Feng Ming was very distressed.

He knew that this was an extremely rare opportunity. Many people wanted to treat Xue Yueqing to a drink, but they didn't have the chance. He got it.2

The problem was that he was afraid that he could not afford to spend five people in Gourmet Pavilion!

The current him was so regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have saved up more Spirit Stone. Now, he would not be so embarrassed.

To be able to treat Xue Yueqing to a drink once, even if he used up all his money, he would not feel heartache.

Because as long as he was still alive, he would be able to earn back all the Spirit Stone he had spent.

It was just that right now, his family's wealth seemed to be still a little lacking.

Inviting Xue Yueqing to drink, he would definitely have to serve the highest grade of dishes and wine, right?

This expenditure was huge. He wanted to treat, but the problem was that he did not have the money.

When the money was needed, Fang Hen would only regret it if it was not enough. The current him was really regretful of the past.

"I'll give you an idea." Chen Feng saw his conflicted and regretful expression and knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help but laugh.

"What idea?" Feng Ming turned to look at Chen Feng and asked with a stiff face.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You can pay the city lord's salary in advance and receive Spirit Stone for a dozen or twenty years first."

Feng Ming thought about it and thought that this was a good idea. The problem was, could Xue Yueqing give him an advance?

A monthly salary of 36,000 a year, a dozen or twenty years, that was tens of thousands of Spirit Stone.
